Key Concepts
Planetary Gear Set
At the heart of any automatic transmission lies the planetary gear set. Each set is composed of a sun gear and planet gears that arrange themselves in different combinations as you travel and change speeds.
Torque Converter
Unlike a manual transmission with a clutch, an automatic transmission uses a torque converter to deliver power from the engine to the transmission. When idling, the torque converter absorbs the engine's energy and prevents stalling. Issues here may cause erratic driving.
Valve Body
The valve body controls transmission fluid by opening and closing as needed. Modern transmissions have computerized systems that control valve body functions and many other essential operations.
